      Pros

      Good salary. Lots of opportunities if you located on-site or close to a site

      Cons

      Every manager is mandated to let go of 5% of their workforce. This forces managers to nitpick on individuals who are target of this mandate

      Pros

      Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

      Cons

      You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
